ConsumerReports.org is now available at the Topsfield Library, or for at-home use with a Topsfield library card! For even more great information than you'll find in the trusted magazine, including unbiased ratings, reviews and buying advice for thousands of products and services.

Tax Forms

Massachusetts resident and non-resident Form 1 booklets have arrived and are available on the second floor.

The 2018 IRS tax filing season will begin on January 29th. Forms and Instructions are being finalized. Most IRS tax forms, instructions and publications will be available electronically on IRS.gov by Jan. 29th. Printed forms and instructions will arrive later in the tax filing season.

As always, all forms and instructions are available to be read and printed online at IRS.gov and Mass.gov.

Each year, AARP Foundation Tax-Aides assist with tax preparation. Sessions are held at the library, but please contact the Council on Aging at (978) 887-1523 with questions or to schedule an appointment.

Interlibrary Loan

Can't find a book? We can help! Ask our reference librarians about interlibrary loan. We can search libraries across the country to find what you're looking for!

You may request items from home by using our online catalog. If your item is not in the Topsfield library, broaden your search to the Merrimack Valley Library Consortium. If you can't find it there, search libraries across the state by using the Commonwealth Catalog. If you still can't find it, contact a reference librarian. We can request an item from another state by using WorldCat.
